[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Election 2013

[David Cake]

I very much agree, Alain. I very much welcome more involvement in NCSG from librarians in general, and Roy in particular.

And in particular, I would love to see IFLA more active in NCSG - especially as their newish employee, Ellen Broad, was in her previous role at Australian Digital Alliance one of the most effectives advocates for copyright reform in Australia. 

Regards

David

As Law Library Director and Professor of Law at St. Thomas University (Miami, FL, USA), he has deep concern with access to information and freedom of expression.  He completed a doctorate degree (J.S.D.) in Intercultural Human Rights, analyzing internet governance, including its history, actors, institutions and human rights considerations.

He has helped grow the Constituency, translating our brochure to Spanish, as well as cultivating his ties with the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) on behalf of the NCUC (and NCSG) seeking broader and worldwide participation of librarians in the ICANN process. Roy also participated in the 'thick' WHOIS PDP WG, as a member of the data protection and privacy sub-team, and co-drafted two NCUC Policy Documents submitted to WG.

I think he brings a level of professionalism, initiative, and follow-through that we will benefit from. AFAIK, Roy will be in Buenos Aires, so I encourage you to get to know him better there.

It’d be surprising if an NCUC election were an exception to the rule, but hopefully this don’t make us lose sight of the big picture—our collective commitment to promoting civil society priorities in GNSO/ICANN processes—or prevent us from having a bit of fun while we’re at it.
